After Liu Yi came to Nanyang, he decided to go to live in the Lantian Marquis Mansion, on the grounds that although the Annan General's Mansion was large, he was used to living a farm life, and he was willing to go to the Lantian Marquis Mansion to preside over farmland cultivation and sericulture cultivation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Liu Shi had to agree, and considering the safety issue, Liu Shi asked Zhao Yun to go to the Hou Mansion as a guard, and Zhao Hu also moved to the Hou Mansion to recuperate. After nearly a month of treatment, Zhao Hu's injury is almost better, and the rest is to raise him, and Liu Shi will teach him the five poultry operas, so that he can recover slowly.

It happened that Mi Zhen was also pregnant, Liu Shi asked Mi Zhen to go back to the Hou Mansion to recuperate, and just out of General Annan's Mansion, Red Peony and White Peony came. said that he heard that Mi Zhen was going to Lantian and that it was not fun for him to be here, so he asked to go with him.

Liu Shi was overjoyed, just to be able to play with Mi Zhen.

A group of several hundred people entered from Wuguan, and then turned from the three-way intersection of Shangluo to Qinling and went down to the fiefdom of Houfu.

As soon as I descended to the bottom of the mountain, I saw several rows of manors, located on a low hill, surrounded by undulating mountains, extremely quiet, looking down, a few thin streams of water winding at the foot of the mountain.

Liu Shi said: "This is for leisure and to avoid chaos, once a thief robs the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion soldiers can retreat here if they can't resist it." ”

Then cross a few small wooden bridges, come to the mountain pass, only to see that the two walls of the mountain pass are steep and towering, an earth wall lies across the mouth of the gorge, about ten zhang high, ten zhang wide, there is a gatehouse at the height of four or five zhang, the gatehouse is two stories high, the second layer is just level with the earth wall, and there are people patrolling on the earth wall.

Liu Shi pointed to the earthen wall and said: "This is the last pass of the Hou Mansion, there are soldiers stationed on it, and out of this pass is the Hou Mansion." This pass can not only prevent thieves and soldiers, but also take into account the role of farmland irrigation and flood control. ”

When everyone looked at it, there was a long pool of water in the wall, which stretched into the distance, and there were seven or eight drainage holes in the earthen wall, which were divided into two layers.

From here, you have to cross a wooden bridge that can be crossed by four carriages, about 10 zhang long, connecting the earthen wall with the low mountain.

Everyone walked through the gatehouse, only to see a clear view ahead, the plains and terraces were uneven. Under the earthen wall, I saw two more villages and more than a dozen villages.

Liu Shi pointed to the two courtyards and said: "The one that is a little closer is the Houfu Courtyard, which has some hot soup that can bathe and cure diseases, which is very magical." ”

He pointed to a large courtyard in the distance and said: "That is the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, there are watchtowers around this mountain, and when thieves and rebels come, they will burn smoke and report the news." ”

As he spoke, Liu Shi said to Mi Zhen: "The only daughter of the Cai family I told you lives in the other courtyard, and now that the war in Yanzhou continues, I don't dare to send her back, so as not to disappoint the trust of my mentor, Lord Huangfu." ”

Mi Zhen said: "Stop and see!" Cai's talent and filial piety are famous all over the world, but unfortunately they were mistakenly killed by Wang Situ. ”

When Mi Zhen, Chi Shao, and Bai Peony came to the gate of the other courtyard, Cai Ji was already standing at the door waiting.

Liu Shi introduced them one by one, Cai Ji is arrogant, like her father, talented, poems, and articles are extremely important, after Cai Ji came, because it was the period of Shuangju and her father's worries, she rarely came out, always reading alone, or walking in the courtyard, and others did not bother her.

Mi Zhen is the same as Chi Shao, she likes martial arts, and is good at dancing and swords, but she is from a big family, especially Chi Shao has a grandfather who is a master of scripture, and the article is not bad, and Bai Shao is even more extraordinary.

Liu Shi simply stepped aside, let a few women do homework, and only left the courtyard for a long time to go to the main mansion, after all, the heroine of the Hou Mansion returned to the Hou Mansion for the first time, and the retainers, slaves and maids of the Hou Mansion were waiting to greet them? Naturally, there is a burst of excitement, Mi Zhen's family is rich, and she is not stingy, everyone has a reward, and she is generous, which makes these subordinates happy.

There is a place for soup in the other courtyard, and Mi Zhen asked for a small courtyard in the other courtyard, and red peony and white peony are no exception, but it is not good to live with Mi Zhen, so I got a set of yards next to Cai Ji. Fortunately, because of the bath soup here, Liu Shi asked people to have a few more sets, which was enough. In their spare time, several women read together and enjoy poetry.

Although it is the Hou Mansion, Liu Shi, as the lord of the Hou Mansion, has not come for much time, and seeing that Mi Zhen is accompanied by Cai Ji, Chi Shao, and Bai Shao, he found Liu Hu by himself to understand the current situation in Chang'an. Although Shi Lian also paid attention to these things, and reported all the major events to Liu Shi, it was better to ask when he came to the Hou Mansion.

Liu Hu was transferred to be the leader of the Hou Mansion's soldiers, responsible for the defense of the entire Hou Mansion, and paid special attention to Chang'an. Seeing Liu Shi asking, he told Liu Shi all the news he knew or heard.

Liu Hu said: "Since Hou Ye entered Nanyang, there was another war in the land of Sanfu, Ma Teng, Han Sui and the eldest son of Liu Hou Ye of Yizhou joined forces to attack Chang'an, and was defeated by Jia Xu with a strategy. ”

Liu Shidao: "I heard that there is an extreme food shortage in Chang'an, but is there such a thing? ”

Liu Hu said: "Now the three auxiliary grain has reached twenty catties of gold, Su Steward has stepped up from Hanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou and other places to transport grain to sell Sanfu, just a few months to transport thousands of Hu, I heard that there is not much grain in other places, this year there is a drought in various parts of the Han Dynasty, the grain harvest is poor, plus the various places levy each other, the people are displaced, and there is a phenomenon of cannibalism in many places. A large number of people in Sanfu fled, and although the Hou Mansion cooked porridge every day for disaster relief, it could not save so many people. It could be more serious in a few months. Nowadays, our Hou Mansion has also accepted a lot of people. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Liu Shi was silent, he stopped.

Liu Shi was silent for a moment and said, "Seeing that I have taken in those displaced people, I really can't guide them to Nanyang, and I will notify Shangluo to set up porridge sheds along the way." ”

Liu Hu replied: "Mr. Su said the same, but I heard that Nanyang is also short of food, so a large number of people have gone to Hanzhong. ”

Liu Shi sighed: "That's fine, as long as you can leave a way for the people to live." ”

Seeing that Liu Hu seemed to have something to say, he asked, "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it." ”

Liu Hu said: "Among these displaced people, I found that two of them are less than twenty years old, younger than me, extraordinary martial arts, it is said that after being a famous family, they could not withstand natural disasters, and they were going to flee to Hanzhong or Yizhou. One of them is extremely highly educated, and his words are very reasonable, and the Houfu soup soup is his idea, saying that if the Hou Mansion only transports grain from other places and sells it, it will give people the impression of profiteers, which will make the court ministers and the Son of Heaven dissatisfied, and it will be unfavorable to the Hou Ye. We took out a part of the grain every day to give porridge, and then guided them to Nanyang and Hanzhong to eat, so that the court had nothing to say, and the people were grateful. ”

Liu Shi became interested when he heard this, and asked Liu Hu to find the two to meet.

Two young people came in after a while, Liu Shi looked up, and sure enough, he was only in his teens, one was strong, and the other was a little thinner and more civil.

Seeing Liu Shi, the two of them took a step forward, bowed down and said, "The grass people meet the Hou Ye and General Annan!" ”

Liu Shiyi waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, sit down and talk." ”

A slightly thinner humane: "There is a grass people's seat in front of Hou Ye, Xiao Min just stands and talks, Hou Ye can ask if he has something to say." ”

Liu Shidao: "Your name is Fa Zhengzi Xiaozhi, and the grandson of the famous Fufeng master is known as 'Mr. Xuande'?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "Exactly, since my grandfather and below, the family has declined, and now there is a great drought, and the grain harvest is poor. ”

Liu Shi nodded and said: "The Legalist family has been in the office of the official residence for generations, although it is declining now, with the performance of filial piety, it may not be impossible to revive the family business in the future, but I am not afraid of missing the future of filial piety?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "Since Dong Table's move to the west, now Li Xuan and Guo Yan are in power, the Han world has been divided, and it cannot be unified unless it is a big talent." Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde each had heavy troops, and they were at odds with each other. Although Li Xuan and others were in charge of the government, they did not understand the government, they only knew that they had heavy troops, were arrogant, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were making their own calculations, and Li Xun and his ilk would not be able to last long, and once there was civil strife, they would undoubtedly be defeated. ”

Liu Shi smiled: "Can you be so sure at a young age? ”

Fa Zheng said with a straight face: "Although he is shallow, in the troubled times, Hou Ye can worry about the people, and the court is distracted, although he only occupies a corner of Nanyang, the land of business is still in the hands of Hou Ye. ”
